Great work so far. Keep it up!
[edit] Good job!
I applaud all the effort you've put into the wiki. Thanks. --avfanatic (talk) 16:21, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
You're very welcome. :) -Tullis

[edit] Welcome to Adminship
Hey Tullis. I was going to leave a message on the talk page of the wiki's admins, but I noticed they've both been inactive for a fairly long time. Then I noticed your request for adminship, and checked your contribs to see that you're still active. So, I got my boss at Wikia to make you sysop (admin). Congrats! =) I know you'll be a good one.
The reason I came to the ME wiki today was to give a heads up about the PC release, which is coming very soon (28th of this month). While I don't expect a HUGE amount of new editors, I'm sure there will be a good bit. Since you're now the only active admin, here are a few tips for being an admin (some of which I noticed you're already doing).
- Check recent edits and welcome all new users (even unregistered IPs). The easist way is by using Template:Welcome.
- Occasionally look for problem reports. The easiest way is to add the problem reports widget to your sidebar. To do this, click the MORE button in the upper right. Then click Manage widgets, find Problem Reports and click the + or you can go to Special:ProblemReports.
- Occasionally check Special:Uncategorizedpages and put any pages on the list into appropriate categories.
- Take care of vandalism/spam and temporarily block (ban) the vandals.
If you have any questions at all about any of that, or need any help with something, don't hesitate to leave a message on my talk page. Congrats again! JoePlay (talk) 18:45, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
- Thank you! I'll do my best. :) -- Tullis 16:59, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Land-able Planet Article Style
After looking through most of the planet articles in this wiki, it seems like almost all of them are using different style, and I think it looks messy. So I went through creating an experimental template for land-able planets here -> SewerSpeakers:LandPlanetTemplate. What do you think about it? Is it okay? --SewerSpeakers 06:29, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
I've completed the updates to the template as well as all of the moons, planets, systems, and clusters. I haven't done much to the mission worlds; it looks like you already have a template in mind so I left things as is. I think now I'll actually play for a while 
-- DRY 21:00, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
- I really appreciate all the hard work you've put in on these, they look great. I don't really have a plan for the mission worlds, so if you want to tweak, go ahead and feel free, but you've done more than enough on the locations. Enjoy your game, you've certainly earned it. : ) --Tullis 21:17, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Planet Descriptions
Thanks for taking the time to edit the planet descriptions so thoroughly! (I must admit, I didn't really look closely at them if they were already present.) BTW what's your opinion on correcting errors which appear in the original game text? I've corrected a few already, usually in the form of a missing conjunction or preposition. Perhaps I should just add a sic? -- DRY 18:19, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
- No problem, the 'editing' was mainly fixing a tiny bit of punctuation here and there. As for errors in original game text... my instinct is to correct them in wiki articles. We've already added more info or detail to Codex entries, like the ones in the Systems Alliance article, so I don't see a problem with making minor corrections for clarity and grammar. --Tullis 18:26, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
I don't know what the quarian homeworld is. I figure that before the creation of the geth, the quarians resided on some remote planet beyond the Terminus Systems. I figure that, if you help clear out the geth from the quarian homeworld, the quarians can return.
[edit] TLJ + Mass Effect
Just noticed that you write on the TLJ wiki as well. You've got good taste in games. =) --SentientMachine 19:46, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
- Aww, thanks. (Be even more impressive if TLJWiki was actually up right now, but still. : ) ) --Tullis 19:57, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Citations. :)
I know how to make them now after reading a confusing entry about them on Wikipedia. I hope to get around to doing them when evidence is needed in articles for things that are not explained in game. Thanks for keeping your patiance with me though. --Digital Holocaust 12:38, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Thanks
Thanks for going through and adding the links on the Codex/Personal History Summary page for me. Hezekiah957 21:23, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
- You're welcome. Thank you for typing it all out in the first place. --Tullis 21:27, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
- Just happy to find some way to help out... that one was a bitch, 'cause I had to make a new character for each combination. Gah, I got sick of that opening cutscene ;-) Hezekiah957 23:09, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
